I am genuinely concerned by that because the Minister of State is on the record, in response to a parliamentary question earlier this year, as saying we would have legislation by springtime. He has made that commitment but there is no legislation three and a half years on. I accept the Minister's concerns in that no one wants to see this horrendous exploitation. A simple change would make a massive difference. Who in the Government is going to take ownership and deliver the change? Surely, as Tánaiste, the Minister should be able to make that commitment to me?
